What I Found
In my data analysis, I found that the Milwaukee Bucks had 201 makes on 273 attempts, meaning they shot 73.626% from the free throw line on their first attempt.

Additionally, I found that the Milwaukee Bucks had 223 makes on 273 attempts, meaning they shot 81.685% from the free throw line on their second attempt: an 8.059% difference!
